“Does this model require a rinse aid or does it have a built-in water softener?”

• Hello Nana! Yes, your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results. However, if you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may want to try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to change rinse aid setting.

• A rinse aid is recommend, for spotting, as is true of most or all energy efficient dishwashers. It does have a built in filter. I don’t use a rinse aid as we have both a whole house water filtration and softener.
